Nina Dobrev is here for doing her own stunts…which includes being set on fire for Flatliners, and being resuscitated many times throughout the movie shoot.

The actress, featured on one of the brand new posters for the flick, opened up to EW about what all that entailed and just how bruised she got from it.

“When you get shocked by the paddles, you have to lift your chest, but the rest of your body has to stay limp,” Nina explained. “So it was pretty tricky to stay as still as possible, and breathe as little as possible, keep your eyes open, and still have a limp body whilst your chest moves.”

But that’s not all.

“You have a tube in your mouth, you’re hooked up to an IV, and somebody is performing CPR on you — the chest compressions,” Nina adds. “And we [were] faking them, but you still have to put a lot of energy into when you’re faking it.”

Energy + resuscitation + movie = bruises. Lots of them.

“I remember leaving set and my whole chest was bruised underneath my bra, from the chest compressions,” Nina shares. “And the hours [were] so long, and you’re doing it for so long, but it’s still really, really fun. Definitely a full-body workout.”

Nina Dobrev wants her fans to know that even she gets pimples and zits all the time.

The 28-year-old actress revealed in the new issue of Ocean Drive that even celebs are not immune to imperfections.

“I get pimples and zits all the time and I deal with them just like anybody else, with zit cream,” she said. “Sometimes I walk out of the house with the zit cream and forget about it. And that’s just life, it’s unpredictable and awkward and we all feel insecure all the time but that’s completely normal and okay and everybody has good days and bad days. It’s especially important now to show young girls that and to make them aware that they are perfect exactly the way they are.”
